Man Electrocuted While Playing Five-a-Side Football

A leisure centre has been charged following the 2016 electrocution of footballer Albert Xhediku, who died after touching a floodlight while retrieving a ball during a five-a-side match in Portsmouth. Despite resuscitation efforts, the 34-year-old was pronounced dead later that evening. Parkwood Community Leisure Ltd is set to appear in court on December 4 for failing to ensure public safety. The incident has had a lasting impact on Xhediku’s family, who remember him as a devoted individual.
